I retired on Monday of this week, which was my last day of work. The last two days were great. I haven't missed the job at all. Now, on to the list of things to do, which is up to about 18 things. I'll have no trouble keeping busy, mainly with spending more time doing the things that I only had...

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK Use a meat tenderizing hammer to pound pieces of round steak until 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick. (A cheap cut of sirloin, on sale, is even better.) Rub your preferred spices well into both sides of the steaks. Salt and pepper are traditional. I usually use one of the numerous...

Often, when I open a thread it doesn't start at the beginning. It opens anywhere between the beginning and the end of the first page of the thread, and if there's more than one page, the thread even sometimes opens somewhere on the second or subsequent page. Its been this way since the recent...

On Sat., Sept. 2, Carroll College, a small NAIA college division team from Helena, Montana, plays its first football game of the season. CC (Carroll College) was the national champion the last FOUR (that's 4) years in a row in the NAIA 16 team national championship playoffs, a feat never before...

Yeah, I know, its late summer, but where I live its almost early fall. Last night, 32 degrees at my house when I got up. Frost on the windshield, and thank G** my better half and I covered the garden. The forecast is for a threat of frost tonight again. Bummer.

During the past year or so, and especially during the past few months, the gas stations in the Montana and Idaho area are switching from 87 octane as their regular (and thus lowest priced) gas to 85.5 octane as their regular, and thus lowest price, gas. The next highest octane above this 85.5...

I have an old 2.25 hp Shop Vac. My wife just bought me a new 5 hp Shop Vac. The new one has a hose that is much larger in diameter than the hose on the old one. I wouldn't be surprised if the increase in the surface area between the opening in the new one's hose and the old one's hose is equal...

Was just discussing powerful handgun rounds with a friend. As of about 2 years ago, my research told me that the Federal Hydra Shok was the most powerful store-bought handgun round, in terms of sheer knock down power, damage caused by the round, and velocity and energy of the round. Anyone know...

Since BP shut down its pipeline last week, gas prices in Montana have risen 10 to 17 cents a gallon, depending on which gas station you go to. Despite the fact that the news media NOW reports that BP only has to shut down about half of its pipeline flow, the gas prices in Montana have not...

My home computer's a Dell, about 5 years old, and runs Windows Millenium 2000. Since getting it, our ISP has been MSN. We've never been pleased with MSN. Too slow and we had consistent problems of numerous types. Last winter, after a nightmare experience trying to install the latest version of...
